THE TRADE DoLLAR.--The bill for the
retirement of the trade dollar passed by
Congress has been signed by the President
is now the Lag.
It provides in its first section that for a
period of six months after the passage OF
this act the trade dollars, if not defaeed,
mutilated or stamped, shall be received at
their face value in payment of all dues to
the United States, and shall not again be
paid out or in any other way issued.
Section 2 provides that during the above
period the holder of trade dollars not mutt
lated, defaced or stamped, may receive in
exchange, on presentation of the same al
the treasury or aay sub-treasury, like
amount and value, dollar for dollar, in
standard silver dollars or in subsidiary sill
yer coins, at the option Of the holder.
Section directs that the trade dollars
received by the government in payment Of
dues or in exchange shall not be paid out
but shall be recoined into standard silver
dollars or subsidiary coin, at the discretion
Of the Secretary of the Treasury, provided
that the recoinage of trade dollars under
this act shall not be considered as part o.
the silver bullion required to be purchase
and coined into standard dollars, as re
quired by the act of February %, 1878.
Section repeats all laws authorizing the
coinage and issuance Of the trade dollars

Abolishing the Color Line in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Feb. 1.-THE word
"white" has now been stricken from the
Constitution and laws of Ohio, and by the
passage of the Arnet bill to day blacks and
whites may intermarry. Schools for color
ed children have been abolished, and white
and colored children must attend the same
public school. The Democrats of the Leg
islature opposed the measure, and fought it
bitterly, especially that part relating to the
schools
This action of the Ohio Legislature fur
nishes one, among many other reasons, why
we have opposed the Republican party. In
no State where the Democratic party con-
trolls the government has any such a state
Of affairs ever existed, and it is impossible
for unprejudieed minds to picture or con.
ceivs the evil results of mixed schools,
which have been forced upon both races in
Ohio by its Republican legislature, or the
damning and disgraceful effects of inter-
marriage between whites and blacks, which
has also been legaliEed by this self-same
bedy. If this is not enough to convince the
people that the tendencies of this party, in
Ohio and all Republican States, are toward
social equality, we are at a loss to know
what would be necessary to convince them.
What do you think of it, white Republicans

Satan Still in Heaven.

twill be remembered that, some mo.tbs
since, we published sermon of Rev. DR..
Diuwiddie, Of Alexandria, preached in Rich
mond some years sincs, in which he main
tanned that Satan was still in Heaven. 1t
will be seen from the following extract
from the Charlottesville Chronicle, giving
an account of the wonderful revival in
Charlottesville under the direction of
Evangelist Ell. NJ. Brown, that Mr.. Brown
entertains the same view
"The meeting on Thursday night was
perhaps the most successful as to manifest
results. This evening the Evangelist
preached about the power and influence of
the devil. The Scripture was Rev. xii. He
represented the devil as a being second
only in power to God and Christ: that he
was one of the brightest and most beauti
fal of heavens host; that he was yet in
heaven and had not been cast into the fiery
lake; thai he assumed various shapes. aud
was responsible for the en- trance of sin into
the world and all its subsequent woes. it
was an original and interesting view of His
Satanic Majesty. and his argument was
sustained. Only the power of Christ could
resist the wiles of the devil. The man
who had not the grace of God in his heart
was a slave to the devil, and could not re-
lease himself. He closed with a pathetic
appeal to men to come and let Christ cast
out the devil

GEN. WOLsELEY AND GEN. r. E. LEE
The leading article in Macmil ans Maya
Zine for March is by Gen. Lord Wolseley on
Gen. Lee. Gen. Lee is given full credit fer
the love he had for the Union and for the
straggle he went through before finally tax
ing the decision to go With his own State.
That distinguished English General, af-
ter giving good and complimentary anal
ysis of Gen. Lees character ard quallfca-
items concludes his article as fellows:-
"When all the angry feelings reused by
the secession are buried with those which
existed when the Declaration of Iudepend-
ence was written; when Americans can re-
view the history of their lass great rebellion
with calm impartiality, l believe all will ad-
NIT that Gen. Lee lowered far above all
men ON either side in that struggle. I be-
lieve he will be regarded not only as the
most prominent figure of the Confederacy,
but as the great American of the nineteenth
century, whose statue is well verify to
stand on an equal pedestal with that of
Washington, and whose memory is equally
worthy to be enshriaed in the hearts of all
Lia countrymen."

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
BY II. CLAY PREUss.

When, like Diogenes of old,
The people. ruled by power Of gold,
Cried out aloud. on every hand,
"Oh. GodI for q true and honest man"
They found in you what they had sought,
A man too honest to be bought,
And by their will. thus you were sent
From sheriff up to President.
And when you took the chair OF State,
The nations first grand Magistrate,
The deadly curse Of party strife
Had paralyzed our nations life.
A threat'ning sound was heard afar.
The "underswell'' of civil war.
The wound had closed for many year.
But left the deadly virus there.
With brazen front on every hand.
Corruption stalked throughout the land;
High offices of public trust
Were stained with fraud aad shameless lust
Moneyed powers, strong and vast,
Held legislation firm and fast;
And by the magic power Of gold.
Our ruling men were bought and sold.
Twas then you took your noble stand
To weed corruption from the land;
To bravely face the coming storm,
And introduce all true reform;
To give new strength to the nations life,
And heal the wounds of civil strife.
And though the work you undertake,
For country and your conscience sake,
May earn for you. from tongue and pen,
The curse of bad and selfish men;
Though narrow souls may snarl and quirk.
And some good men misjudge your work;
Though friends may frown and foes deride,
Yet God and right are on your side.
Aud, Grover Cleveland, stand thou firm A! p
Thy work shall prove a fruitful germ
OF public good when thou art gone
To countless millions yet unborn,
And to thy name more honor bring
Than ever crowned a car or king!

wife, who charges him with squandering
her money and failure to support her. She
wants a divorce Thus far the gifted ex-

content to rest behind the bars in enforced
captivity. Barlow has told his better half
that he would not 'shock his sparklers" for
her or any other woman. This tranlated
into the ordinary vernaoular means that he
